Re: [Paddlewise] inner hull tie devices

I just finished installing two under-deck bunjie cords for my wife's boat.
Took four pad-eyes, drilled holes for them.  The pad-eyes are beneath the
deck with bunjies tied to them.  They are held in place with 8-32 stainless
flathead machine bolts (1/2 inch will be just right for most decks).  Above
the deck, the flathead bolts are cradled in finishing (cup) washers.  This
protects the deck from strain from the bolt head while doubling as a neat
repository for the sealer that I used to seal the hole.  The bolts are
secured below with stop nuts.    Under the deck above the bunjies, I glued
some 1/4 inch neoprene padding to keep things from sliding too much and from
banging against the deck.    If she likes it, maybe I'll even do the same
for my boat.
